narrowed down to Krystal or Gateaway, which one??

Well if you mean the Getaway,then its ok if you like to watch porn on the TV and sleep on concrete beds. Other than that never heard or know of the other 1.

My wife and I took a stroll through the Krystal, looks like a decent complex style resort. Beach was quite a bit larger than where we stayed(Canto Del Sol). My wife and I figured we might give the krystal a try next time we go. You are close to the Maritime Terminal and probably a quick 15 minute busride to the malecon.

My wife and I have stayed at the Krystal seven times in the last three years. We have always enjoyed it, even just a few months after Kenna hit. I would recommend that you reserve a Junior Suite because the additional size, with a separate TV area and sofa area is very nice. THe standard rooms are nice, too, however. We will be going back again in Aoril and will stay at the Krystal.

I have also stayed at both hotels, and the Krystal is far nicer, has huge grounds and really has more quality. The Getaway, which I have bee to twice this year is not as nice but we had so much fun there, the beds are hard, the food is average most of the time, the staff was great, and it is adults only which is why we stayed there. So it all depends on what exactly you are looking for. I also stayed at the golden crown in november and found it very boring, as I like alot of activities to fill my day. We are headed back in 4 sleeps and this time we rented a condo so we can do everything on our own and have all of our friends over, all inclusive does not allow non guests to enter the hotel. Anyway, hope this helps a little.

the Krystal is just down from the GCP ... we have found a lot of people that stay there really like it... and the new additions since Kenna are wonderful... we got a quickie tour from the General manager who is a brother in law to a good friend of ours down in PV... granted we have never stayed there, but the new addition right on the beach are great....

good luck... if in doubt... flip the quarter best out of 5 times and go... LOL
